Venison

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus

Black Cherry Agrodolce

Bleu Cheese

Method

Venison Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Venison

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the venison steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Venison

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the marinated venison steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness is reached. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus

  1. 3

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.

  2. 4

    Roast Sweet Potatoes

    Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until fork-tender, stirring halfway through.

  3. 5

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. After 20 minutes, add the asparagus to the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.

  4. 6

    Roast Asparagus

    Continue roasting for an additional 10-15 minutes until the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.

Black Cherry Agrodolce

  1. 7

    Prepare the Agrodolce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine black cherry preserves, red wine vinegar, honey, and finely chopped red onion. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.

  2. 8

    Season the Agrodolce

    Add salt to taste and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the sliced venison steaks alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus. Drizzle the black cherry agrodolce over the venison and top with crumbled bleu cheese.
